ScienTech, an accelerator for early-stage Arab startups in healthcare, biotech and environmental science, was established by the Galilee Society with funding from the U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). The accelerator, based in northern Israel, is the first of its kind aimed at helping Arab founders turn scientific research knowledge into businesses. The first two cohorts were funded by MEPI, while the third cohort is funded by the Israel Innovation Authority. The accelerator provides training in entrepreneurial thinking and fundraising, along with consulting, mentoring, and exposure to high-tech and healthcare companies.
